We present a damage-aware planning approach which determines the best sequence to manipulate a number of objects in a scene. This works on task-planning level, abstracts from motion planning and anticipates the dynamics of the scene using a physics simulation. Instead of avoiding interaction with the environment, we take unintended motion of other objects into account and plan manipulation sequences which minimize the potential damage. Our method can also be used as a validation measure to...

We analyze existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions for perturbations of the Spence-Abel equation for the Rogers' dilogarithm. As an application we deduce a version of Hyers-Ulam stability for the Spence-Abel equation. Our analysis makes use of a well-known cohomological interpretation of the Spence-Abel equation and is based on our recent results on continuous bounded cohomology of SL(2,R).

During the execution of a test plan, a test manager may decide to drop a test case if its result can be inferred from already executed test cases. We show that it is possible to automatically generate a test plan to exploit the potential to justifiably drop a test case and thus reduce the number of test cases. Our approach uses Boolean formulas to model the mutual dependencies between test results. The algorithm to generate a test plan comes with the formal guarantee of optimality with regards...

We explain how the generalized Milnor-Wood inequality of Burger and Iozzi for reductive representations of a cocompact complex-hyperbolic lattice into a Hermitian Lie group translates under Simpson's non-abelian Hodge correspondence into an inequality for topological invariants of the corresponding Higgs bundles. In this way, we obtain an inequality that holds for all Hermitian Lie groups, generalizing the Milnor-Wood type inequalities for Higgs bundles that have been proved for the classical...

We prove surjectivity of the comparison map from continuous bounded cohomology to continuous cohomology for Hermitian Lie groups with finite center. For general semisimple Lie groups with finite center, the same argument shows that the image of the comparison map contains all the even generators.

We compare different Polyakov loop actions yielding effective descriptions of finite-temperature SU(2) Yang-Mills theory on the lattice. The actions are motivated by a simultaneous strong-coupling and character expansion obeying center symmetry and include both Ising and Ginzburg-Landau type models. To keep things simple we limit ourselves to nearest-neighbor interactions. Some truncations involving the most relevant characters are studied within a novel mean-field approximation. Using inverse...

In contrast to basic food, snacks are consumed additionally to other meals and may thereby lead to non-homeostatic energy intake.

We show that the operator norm in the universal unitary representation is computable if the group is residually finite-dimensional or amenable with decidable word problem. Moreover, we relate the computability of the operator norm on the product of non-abelian free groups to Kirchberg's QWEP Conjecture, a fundamental open problem in the...

We develop a diagrammatic scattering theory for interacting bosons in a three-dimensional, weakly disordered potential. We show how collisional energy transfer between the bosons induces the thermalization of the inelastic single-particle current which, after only few collision events, dominates over the elastic contribution described by the Gross-Pitaevskii ansatz.

This paper analyzes coherent backscattering of intense laser light by two randomly placed distant atoms. Starting from the general two-atom master equation, we analytically derive the elastic and inelastic background and interference components of the double scattering spectrum. By expressing the final results in terms of single-atom observables, the two-atom problem is shown to be equivalent to a description in terms of single atoms under bichromatic driving.

To improve upon this, we work on reducing the number of fixed point coupling iterations. Thus, first widely used...

Model-based boosting is a tool to fit a statistical model while performing variable selection at the same time. A drawback of the fitting lies in the need of multiple model fits on slightly altered data (e.g. cross-validation or bootstrap) to find the optimal number of boosting iterations and prevent overfitting. In our proposed approach, we augment the data set with randomly...

This would render gravity non-perturbatively renormalizable and thus constitute a viable theory of quantum gravity. On the fixed point dilatation symmetry is exact and the quantum effective action takes a very simple form. Realistic gravity with a nonzero Planck mass is obtained through a nonzero expectation value for the scalar field, constituting a spontaneous scale symmetry breaking....

Volume exclusion effects are present: particles can only hop to a neighboring node if the node is empty. Here we show that such effects lead to a surprisingly rich variety of self-organized spatial patterns. As particles exhibit an increasingly higher tendency to align to neighbors, they first self-segregate into disordered particle aggregates....

The quantum state of light changes its nature when being reflected off a mechanical oscillator due to the latter's susceptibility to radiation pressure. As a result, a coherent state can transform into a squeezed state and can get entangled with the motion of the oscillator. The complete tomographic reconstruction of the state of light requires the ability to readout arbitrary quadratures. Here we demonstrate such a readout by applying a balanced homodyne detector to an interferometric position...

We study effective lattice actions describing the Polyakov loop dynamics originating from finite-temperature Yang-Mills theory. Starting with a strong-coupling expansion the effective action is obtained as a series of Z(3)-invariant operators involving higher and higher powers of the Polyakov loop, each with its own coupling. Truncating to a subclass with two couplings we perform a detailed analysis of the statistical mechanics involved. To this end we employ a modified mean field approximation...

Social media platforms have over the past years become central to how people stay up to date about the world around them. These platforms have facilitated rapid sharing of knowledge and has enabled us to quickly get informed about news events as they happen. These platforms have also enabled a democratisation of content reducing gatekeeping and enabling anyone to have a platform. This has however come at the risk of misinformation quickly spreading and partisan messaging have become a prime...

We consider the two-dimensional N=(2,2) Wess-Zumino model with a cubic superpotential at weak and intermediate couplings. Refined algorithms allow for the extraction of reliable masses in a region where perturbation theory no longer applies. We scrutinize the Nicolai improvement program which is supposed to guarantee lattice supersymmetry and compare the results for ordinary and non-standard Wilson fermions with those for SLAC derivatives. It turns out that this improvement completely fails to...

We study lattice formulations of the two-dimensional N=2 Wess-Zumino model with a cubic superpotential. Discretizations with and without lattice supersymmetries are compared. We observe that the "Nicolai improvement" introduces new problems to simulations of the supersymmetric model. With high statistics we check the degeneracy of bosonic and fermionic masses on the lattice. Perturbative mass corrections to one-loop order are compared with continuum extrapolations of our lattice...

The pioneering experiments of linear spectroscopy were performed using flames in the 1800s, but nonlinear optical measurements had to wait until lasers became available in the twentieth century. Because the nonlinear cross section of materials is very small, usually macroscopic bulk samples and pulsed lasers are used. Numerous efforts have explored coherent nonlinear signal generation from individual nanoparticles or small atomic ensembles with millions of atoms. Experiments on a single...

This article is from Sensors (Basel, Switzerland) , volume 14 . Abstract The most commonly used drug testing methods are based on the analysis of hair and urine using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry or immunoassay screening. These methods are time-consuming and partly expensive. One alternative method could be the application of an “electronic nose” (eNose). We have developed an eNose to detect directly on the human skin surface metabolic...
